Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine Bantam for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful debut thriller by Jakob Kerr. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Mackenzie Clyde is a lawyer who works for Silicon Valley's most ruthless venture capitalist as an unofficial problem solver. But when the CEO of tech's hottest startup is murdered and Mackenzie's boss has a fortune at stake, she is sent in to resolve things quickly. With the police out of their depth, the FBI is called in to investigate with Mackenzie assisting. She's not a detective and is used to being underestimated, but Mackenzie is determined.
Wow - I was shocked to learn that this is a debut novel, because even at over 400 pages, it kept me glued. Told in the present during the investigation along with many flashbacks, you can't help but root for Mackenzie. Raised by a single mom who worked long hours, Mackenzie is used to being overlooked and having to prove herself. With an insider's look into the tech world with so much money involved, the plot was so well crafted and kept me guessing with its twists and turns. If you are intrigued with the tech world or just love a great thriller, this is the book for you. Do I dare hope for a sequel?
